Trap Makes Learning Fun
Kindness
By Eddie Tuduri
The truth needn’t be complex, vague, or ambiguous.
Nothing conveys truth as does the simplicity of Kindness. Think “Down Syndrome”
I had a talk the other day with my friend Dion, often referred to as the
“Face of TRAP,” one of my first students’ in The Rhythmic Arts Project.
His presence in my life for over 30 years along with Karen and others, their families and friends have shone a bright light on *Kindness in my life, and I’m grateful.
Kindness is euphoric, it conveys an air of weightlessness surrounded in veracity.
Think about that for a minute.
It’s hard to deceive when our hearts and minds are steeped in compassion.
Working in the field of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities will transform your life’s path. It has changed my thoughts and actions over the years, and I thank God for the opportunity every day to serve humanity in this way.
